Aviation regulator DGCA on Wednesday said operations are normal at all airports in the country, and as of now, "there does not seem to be a cause for concern" amid air traffic in the United States getting affected due to a technical failure in the system. An official at Air India, which operates direct flights to five American cities, said there could be some delays for its flights from the US due to possible runway congestion.
Hundreds of flights across the US were grounded early morning on Wednesday following a technical failure in the system that provides safety info to flight crews.
Normal air traffic is resuming gradually in the US, with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) saying it is continuing to look into the cause of the initial problem.
A senior official at the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) said operations are normal at all airports in India and "as of now, there does not seem to be a cause for concern".
The official also said that Air India flights to New York, Chicago and San Francisco landed safely.
Air India operates around 51 weekly flights to various cities in the US.
The airline, which is the only Indian carrier having direct services to the US, flies to New York, Newark, Chicago, Washington and San Francisco.
It has flights from Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad.
